As for that mobile app, it allows users to create individualized profiles for each family member to store their detailed temperature history. The temperature readings are automatically populated from the thermometer via Bluetooth, while symptoms, medications, and other notes can be added to help track an illness and as reference when sharing updates with a physician.

The application also features Fever InSight guidance, which turns the screen of the mobile device a different color depending on the temperature reading, going from green to yellow or red as body temperature rises.
